Area Model Multiplication

Timothy saves $176 a month. Timothy saves $29 less each month than Camden. How much will
Camden save in 3 years?

Answer 1

Timothy's savings: $176/month
Camden's savings: $205/month

(205)(36) = $7380

Step-by-step explanation:
Find Camden's monthly savings by adding $176 and $29 to find how much Camden saves, $205.

3 years is the same as 36 months, so the equation then becomes:
(205)(36), which gives you the answer of $7380.
